Story

Long ago, in the time of the dinosaurs, the Earth was invaded by an alien menace called Deboth, the leader of an invasion army. On the verge of extinction, some of the dinosaurs are transformed into Zyudenryu and seal Deboth and his forces in ice.

Now, in the modern world, the Deboth Army have thawed and now intend to commence the mass extinction of humanity while thawing their still frozen leader. But having prepared for it, Wise God Torin gathers the only people capable of helping the Zyudenryu stop the Deboth Army: "the People of the Great and Mighty Lizards" (強き竜の者,Tsuyoki Ryū no Mono), which has been shortened to "Kyoryugers" (キョウリュウジャー（強・竜・者）,Kyōryūjā (Kyō・Ryū・Sha)).[7]

Vehicles

Mecha

During the Deboss Army's centuries-long attack, twenty four prehistoric animals obtained the power to fight the invaders. Ten of them were the dinosaurs that were modified to become the Ten Great Zyudenryu (十大獣電竜,Jūdai Jūdenryū) while thirteen were modified to become the Guardians. However, in the aftermath of the Army's defeat, the Guardians were killed and half of the Ten Great Zyudenryu (Pteragordon, Ankydon, Bunpachy, Plezuon, and Bragigas) were lost, while the remaining members stood watch, should the Deboss Army return.

The Guardians

Stymero, Allomerus, and Deinochaser before they were killed.

The Guardians (ガーディアンズ,Gādianzu) are lesser Zyudenryu who supported the Ten Great Zyudenryu during their fight against the Deboss Army. In a flashback from Torin, several forms of the Guardians were shown before they were killed by Gadoma and their spiritual forms was saved by Bragigas' tears. With their spiritual forms turned into small amber stones, their spirits continue to aid the Kyoryugers as part of their arsenal.

The fossilized remains of the thirteen Guardians, the Secret Stones, were revealed to be the key to obtain Bragigas.

Episodes

The episodes in this Sentai season are called "Braves" (ブレイブ,Bureibu) with the numberings in Japanese, and the titles are written in a combination of hiragana and katakana formatting, much in the same vein of Engine Sentai Go-Onger, which combined kanji and katakana formatting.

This is also the first season since Engine Sentai Go-Onger to have both a Green Ranger and a Black Ranger in the main five.

This series brings back two elements that were previously integral parts of Super Sentai but were omitted from recent series:

The first series since Magiranger to use subtitles when a new character or mecha is introduced.

The first series since Goseiger to use an eyecatch for the midpoint break. Gokaiger and Go-Busters instead had their logo appear in the corner of the screen prior to and just after commercial breaks. It also marks the return of personal weapons for each Member.

They were also both used as hosts for mask-origined members of the villains.

Both series played feature songs (Hibiki no Shirabe and Dino Soul) in episode 29. Their full versions are played in latter episodes as well.

Both series featured a Silver Ranger able to sense attacks via sudden wind gusts.

The personal weapon of both Red Rangers is a par of fang-like gloves (Lion Fang and Gabutyra Fang).

Both Red Ranger's Super Weapons, which are in shape of and connected to a Red mecha, allow them to use multiple items of other Rangers at the same time (Falcon Summoner and Gabutyra De Carnival) when firing.

Kyoryuger's Team Weapon is a melee weapon, in contrast to the recent Sentai's Team Blasters, similar to Gaoranger's.

Both Sentai have a bird-themed sword (Eagle Sword and Feather Edge).

In both series, ones of the major monsters owns a blade which can also be used as a boomerang, a flute, and an item installer (Crescent Moon Blade and Flute Buster).

In both series, Ranger motorbikes are formed from sentient mechas (Wolf Roader and DeinoChaser).

As of 2016, With an average rating of 3.9%, Kyoryuger has the third-worst viewing figures in the history of the Super Sentai franchise, after Ressha Sentai Toqger at 3.8% and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger with 3.6%. [10]

This continues the trend of declination numbers of average viewer's rate in Super Sentai series which has been occurring Since GoGo Sentai Boukenger.

Unlike the latter two however, it had very high toysales which made the series financially successful.

The Korean dub is called Power Rangers Dino Force. The toyline sold so well in South Korea that the series earned a sequel.
